This fight starts at around 4 am eastern and if you are interested in having me do the live blog leave a comment. The Green-Flores fight will start between 7-7:30 am.
Hard punching Aussie Danny Green (30-3 27 KO) returns to the ring three months after his farce of a fight against a comebacking Paul Briggs.
He will be looking to defend his IBO title for the fourth time against American B.J. Flores (24-0-1 15 KO). Flores has won the USBA and WBO NABO cruiserweight titles in his career.
This is the first major test for Green in some time and should be an exciting showdown.
Pretty sure Danny Green just thanked every single person in Australia by name. His thanks went on for about 10 minutes. Well that is all for me tonight. Good night or good morning or whatever! It was a good night of fighting.
Green wins easily by scores of 117-112, 118-110, 118-111.He retains the IBO title and moves to 31-3 with 27 KO's. Flores falls to 24-1-1 with 15 KO's.
Flores wasn't the less skilled fighter in the ring tonight he was the more inactive fighter. He has a lot of energy as the fight ended because he didn't do anything during the right. Neither fighter landed anything big but Green did more and landed the harder punches.
This doesn't make Green a legitimate cruiserweight. It just showed that Flores really wasn't that good of a fighter.

Green is the aggressor actually and lands a few punches in a flurry. Green lands a good right hand but doesn't shake Flores at all. Fans chanting "Green, Green, Green" and he pleases them by landing a right hand off the ropes. 30 seconds left and Flores eats a big left hand and does nothing as the fight ends.

They show a video package of him working out as well with Dropkick Murhpys playing in the background. They also show him knocking out the living legend Roy Jones Jr. There is no Paul Briggs highlight. Green is walking out now and the crowd is going wild. He is coming out to From the Land Down Under, which is totally awesome. They again cut to his wife and mom dancing together. I like how the Aussie's do things.
Finally time for the main event. The announcer says that Danny Green is nervous but wont be "filling his pants". This commentary has been classic. They have put together a video package of Flores working out and he looks ripped. Hopefully this isn't the last time we see him punching tonight. He walks out to All I do is win and a woman carries the American flag ahead of him. He is totally amped and they cut to a shot of his wife dancing.
MAIN EVENT is finally here. If this is what you want then I suggest you stay here.
